Question 1

How do dealers use GPS tracking on inventory?

Accepted Answer

Two jobs. On the lot it is loss prevention and audit — you can prove where every unit is without walking the yard, and you get an alert the moment something moves outside hours. At the point of sale it becomes an attachment: the tracker is fitted, the customer subscribes, and the dealer earns on both the hardware and the recurring service.

Question 2

Is there a dealer margin on the hardware and the subscription?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Volume pricing brings hardware down to $54.99 per unit at 25+, with up to 30% off service, and the difference between that and retail is the dealer's. Talk to sales@rentaltide.com for program terms.

Question 3

Can I pre-install trackers before a unit is sold?

Accepted Answer

That is the intended workflow. Fit the device during PDI, leave it in storage mode on the lot, and activate the customer subscription at delivery. The unit tracks your inventory the whole time it is unsold.

Question 4

What happens to the tracker when the unit sells?

Accepted Answer

It transfers to the buyer in a click. The device stays where it is, the account changes hands, and the new owner starts their own subscription — no re-install, no truck roll.

Question 5

What does Vectra GPS cost?

Accepted Answer

Hardware is $89.99 one time and yours to keep. Service is $59.94/year per tracker (about $4.99/month, free for the first 122 days) or $9.99/month billed month-to-month. No contract on either plan.

Question 6

Is there a contract?

Accepted Answer

No. The annual plan cancels any time and the monthly plan is month-to-month. The hardware is owned outright either way, so cancelling leaves you with a device you can reactivate or move to another account later.

Question 7

What if it does not work out?

Accepted Answer

You get 30 days from the day it arrives. Tell us it isn't working out and we email a prepaid shipping label and refund 100% of the hardware price — no restocking fee, no deduction for return shipping, no requirement that it still be in the box.
